Christ’s Return Revealed “Then shall two be in the field; - TopicsExpress



          

Christ’s Return Revealed “Then shall two be in the field; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Two women shall be grinding at the mill; the one shall be taken, and the other left. Watch therefore: for ye know not what hour your Lord doth come. But know this, that if the goodman of the house had known in what watch the thief would come, he would have watched, and would not have suffered his house to be broken up. Therefore be ye also ready: for in such an hour as ye think not the Son of man cometh.” Matthew 24:40-44 Can anyone be sure when Jesus is coming again? When Sir Isaac Newton was asked if he thought Christ would return in his lifetime, he said he didnt believe it because all of the prophecies had not been fulfilled. Someone asked Charles Spurgeon if he believed Christ would return in his lifetime, and he said no. He believed there were still prophecies which had to be fulfilled. Since then, these prophecies have been fulfilled. Because of this, when someone came to me with this question, I told them Christ certainly could return any day in our lifetime and not only could, but He would. The Spirit of the Lord showed me that just like Simeon (Luke 2:25-27) this generation shall not see death until the messiah returns. All I know is that is He is coming – soon and we must be ready for that day. “Every day we’re a week closer to the Rapture.” One of the members of our brethren loves to say this because it helps him keep eternity in perspective. With all of the events going on in our world today, we would also do well to keep eternity in perspective. Here are just some eleven reasons why I know this is true: 1. Travel - Modern transportation allows us to travel thousands of miles in a very short time. The Book of Daniel predicted this (Daniel 12:4). 2. Knowledge - The Book of Daniel also predicts the increase of knowledge we are seeing today with the Internet and technology. 3. The invention of the atomic bomb - In Zechariah 14:12, God prophesied He would bring a plague upon Israels enemies which exactly matches the effects of radiation from the atomic bomb. Now we see how this is possible. 4. The Jews return to the land of Israel - In Jeremiah 4:5, God said Israel would be gathered as a nation. This happened in 1948. 5. Gods support of Israel (Romans 11:1) - The Bible says God has not forsaken Israel. He has preserved this nation until now, and He will continue to do this until Jesus returns (Zechariah 12:8-10). 6. The cashless society (Revelation 13:16–18) – With hackers stealing credit card information from major retailers, the idea of having people take a mark to do all buying and selling doesn’t sound so farfetched. 7. Earthquakes – Jesus described frequent earthquakes as a part of the “beginning of sorrows.” (Matthew 24:7–8) Check the news, and you’ll see earthquakes have been occurring more often. 8. TV– Events in Jerusalem during the Tribulation will be seen by the entire world (Revelation 11:9). Television and Internet video have made this possible today. 9. One-world government – The nations of the world will come together to form a single government according to Revelation 12:3. The United Nations and the European Union are steps which have been taken in this direction. 10. One-world religion – The Bible predicts all of the religions of the world will combine into one religion during the Tribulation (Revelation 13:12). The new ecumenical movement is fulfilling this prophecy by uniting Protestants, Jews, Catholics, Muslims, and people of other faiths. 11. The promised Elijah – (Malachi 4:5-6) The promised Elijah has come preparing the way of the Lord in the person of Prophet Dr David Owour. This is an exciting time to be a Christian. We might not know the day or the hour of Christs return, but we do know its going to be soon. As Jesus told His disciples, we need to be watching for His return. We ought to make the most of every opportunity to tell others how they can be saved. And we should be living pure and holy lives so were not ashamed when Jesus comes. The Bible is literally being fulfilled before our eyes. That makes me more excited than ever about seeing my Savior. If we keep eternity in perspective, then we won’t worry as much about things we lack here on Earth. We will see the spiritual significance of life’s heartbreaks, brokenness, losses, and trials (although we may not realize this until after we have endured them). We will resist temptation because we want Christ to find us pure and blameless at His return. An eternal perspective will help us choose what is best over what may seem to be good. Are you ready to meet Jesus? He’s coming sooner than you might think. There are two major events that all Christians are waiting for. The first being the rapture of the Bride, which is the remnant body of Christ that have made their garments ready for The Wedding Feast Of The Lamb. The second being the second coming of Christ in the clouds. We see from the two scriptures below that it clearly distinguishes the two separate events. The first only the saints will see with those Christians being left behind shamefully and the second coming, in which every eye shall see. 1. Rapture: Revelation 16:15 “ Behold, I come as a thief. Blessed is he that watcheth, and keepeth his garments, lest he walk naked, and they see his shame.” 2. Second Coming: Revelation 1:7 “ Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.” Lets us be counted amongst the few that have made themselves ready for His coming. BE WATCHFUL, BE SOBER, JESUS IS COMING, LIVE DAILY FOR HIM, BE RAPTURE READY NOW!
